way they created it. they are taking the time that is needed to tell the story, without draging it out too much and without just throwing special effects on everything.

Most DC shows are like that, I think. See: Daredevil, Daredevil: Born Again, and probably Heroes of Tomorrow but it's been a bit since I watched that one.

eh? Daredevil is Marvel. Also it's got an incredibly deep storyline, with tons of character development.

Well, maybe i should give the other DCU shows a chance. Or i have subconsciously reacted to Damon Lindelof being a part of the producer team (as a lifetime LOST fan). =)

I really liked that NY/Harlem, post-Avengers movie setting of
Daredevil, Jessica Jones and the others. Shame they all moved to
Disney, I wanted to rewatch them.

Woops. Was there another DC one that I confused it with?
My mistake.

Marvel shows?

The problem is there have been so many Marvel & DC shows since the MCU took off in movie theaters near 20 years ago.

Up until Marvel struck a deal with Netflix, and Daredevil aired, there were things you could count on:

1. DC had the best TV series (The Arrowverse - basically anything they had on The WB starting with Smallville), and the worst films.
2. Marvel had the best films but really struggled with TV Series. (Agents of Sheild was great for the first couple seasons, then it really just went off the rails)

Even the Marvel-on-Netflix stuff was a bit of a struggle for general audiences. At the time there was a definite rift between the TV production arm, and the MCU arm, which meant there was basically no crossover or even references between the two, even though they supposedly took place in the same universe.

...Don`t force it, get a larger hammer.

You're absolutely right. That's probably what made me think DD was a DC show: it was actually good.

That reminded me of the scene in Deadpool 2 when DP comments while
walking through the X school and he says "You think the studio
would throw us a bone, dust off one of the famous X-Men?"

The camera pans over to Beast, Dr. X, Storm, Cyclops and Nightcrawler as
Beast in a study, Beast quietly closes the pocket doors.
